It chokes up when trying to accelerate. Theres a rattling noise that comes from under the car.

Fifty-three fault codes were reported through 11 modules via "automotive electronics is one of the major problems in this areas. Understanding the control buses that have replaced wiring looms in vehicles. Can bus is the most important of these – but many vehicles now use both can and lin buses for cost reasons. Solutions for both areas. At this time—recommendations and fault codes are listed below. At the time of scan national highway traffic safety administration website was unavailable, and a recall search was unable to be performed. Per gm adas calibration recommendations, if an adas feature is affected by the collision repair, gm may recommend calibration of affected components after repairs are complete. Please refer to gm document 5577683. These items may include frontview camera, long range radar, park assist sensor, curb view camera, surround vision camera – analog and night vision camera.

Passenger presence module faulty.

The wiring for the airbags runs through a hinge in the extended cab doors. I don’t use my rear doors much, but I would say that I use them a normal amount. Regular opening and closing of the door will cause the wires to break, thus making the airbags inoperable. Normal use of doors should not cause your airbags to not work.

For a while now, my truck has been aggressively shaking when I hit highway speeds so I've spent money getting balances and alignments and tires to try and fix the issue, but nothing works. I've also been having acceleration issues, but when I take it to a shop to be looked at, nobody can find the problem. Then a few days ago, I was on the highway doing around 65 or so in the rain and it did its usual shaking. I lost control, the truck spun out and hit the wall. The cop came and asked if my truck had been doing any shaking. I told him yes. . . I came home and my family asked if it had been shaking as well. I asked why everyone was mentioning the truck shaking. They told me about the chevy recalls. So I'm reaching out bc I've been trying to figure out and paying money to fix the shaking issues and the accelerator issues with no success and now I've been in a wreck and could've lost my life. I only hurt my foot and my girlfriend was cut and burned by airbags. I need help. Please.

Front passenger airbag always showing it is "off" whether someone is sitting in seat or not. The dealer wouldn't fix this unless I paid a diagnostic fee of $185. Also radio infotainment system doesn't respond to touch, however it has a mind of its own, blaring radio volume up and changing channels on its own. Very distressing and distracting while driving. Also a $185 diagnostic for looking at this as well. I had purchased an extended warranty and extended maintenance agreement. The dealer told me they won't fix it unless I pay for the diagnostics and they won't have the extended warranty company fix it under my original extention warranty agreement. This all happened before my vehicle had 26000 miles.

The airbags were deactivated due to the wires being damaged through normal use of the extended cab rear door. A normal mechanic shop wouldn't fix it, because it was a safety issue, so took the truck to the Chevrolet dealer, who confirmed the problem, and had to replace the wiring harness in that door.

Chevrolet montebello delearship in California refused to do any work on our 2018 Chevrolet Colorado. We received a letter about a recall on the airbags of the truck and we took the truck in due to some issues on the truck and the recall. Because they felt the vehicle was tampered with they denied to do any work on the truck even the recall of the airbags!!!!! the service technician we were working with said they were not going to deal with us anymore bc I made a complaint to gm and I would need to deal with them directly they refused to provide me any documentation even after their service manager said they would. This is not acceptable for them to refuse to fix such a major safety concern and to be honest they are being neglectful and should be held accountable for being so unethical.

Side certain airbags deployed for no reason on mild off-road trail going about 20mph.
